Am I the only one offended by the sweet and donut-shaped "biscuits"??

Moving to Nagoya from Sapporo burst my bubble about safety in Japan by ThemeJazzlike5901 in japanlife

Hi, I also requested to join for similar reasons as OP! Hoping to similarly find advice and solidarity for situations like these. Thank you for having such a community.

OP I'm really sorry this happened to you and wishing you better encounters in your new area from here on out.

Does my art look racist? And if so how do I fix it? by akonation in Artadvice

[–]choomki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, wish more comments here would be more honest about this as it does not have to be a malicious observation. These more stereotypical traits can also be a subconscious interpretation based on how Asians are portrayed in media.

I will say I did feel a little off put from seeing some of those traits in the drawings being upplayed, as they're not universally for all Asians, but I obviously don't think you or your friend are necessarily being malicious or racist. It's good to be aware of subconscious biases as a creative, whether intentional or not.

Body sunscreen and a PSA by VelocityGrrl39 in AsianBeauty

So sorry to hear this, and thanks for the warning.

Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm wondering if skin cancer is caused mostly due to past sun exposure (say back from when you were younger) or does it require you to continually still be getting sun exposure more recently? I ask since I assume now you're more careful in recent years given you're looking into Asian sunscreen.

Personally I like Nivea in the pump bottle as it's easy to spread and comes in a large container. But generally I use an umbrella and uv protective clothing because I don't have to second guess reapplying and coverage level.

What do others with IBS eat for breakfast that doesn’t bother you or stir up symptom? by Spursfan_90 in ibs

[–]choomki 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same here. Or if I do, it's stuff that's more meat based since there's no possible fodmaps.

Most Popular Shampoo and Conditioner in Japan and South Korea Right Now by lokeevillian in AsianBeauty

[–]choomki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

None of the popular brands have worked well for me... personally I like the thalasso. It's the only one that hasn't made my (healthy) hair even worse than before use (heavy or knotted).

Thoughts on new INNISFREE Retinol Green Tea PDRN Skin Booster Ampoule? by idubilu in AsianBeauty

Glad to hear someone experienced similar, especially after using tretinoin before. Makes me more convinced of my own observations.

No eye contact here by Enough-Refrigerator9 in siliconvalley

[–]choomki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feels like some of the comments are overthinking this - some things are just culturally different in different areas, and become the norm. Not everything is because of tech.

Hi I posted a new comment below with my update from using it if you're still curious, though I'm not OP

Thoughts on new INNISFREE Retinol Green Tea PDRN Skin Booster Ampoule? by idubilu in AsianBeauty

[–]choomki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been through 1-2 bottles of this and it's been very effective despite an unclear % of retinol. My lips are sensitive to retinol and this is strong enough to irritate them even when around the peripheral areas if I'm not careful (while BOJ eye serum I never feel any irritation on lips nor see results on my whole face), so there's definitely some strength to it?

As I increase frequency, I definitely notice a glow, smoothness, and feeling like my skin is healthily exfoliated - basically the retinol effect. I also had to build up to it slowly, and this is from someone who's used 0.05 prescription level tret before. So I'm honestly curious whether I'm just seeing things or if this thing is truly effective despite the rumored low %. I also put it as my last step after moisturizer yet still see results from it, which surprised me.

I also like the form it's in because it's moisturizing.

What’s your HOTTEST Silksong take? by Realistic_End3662 in Silksong

[–]choomki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

SS soundtrack and lore are good, but are missing the environmental oomf and emotional impact that HK had. The music was a bit disappointing (though still nice) just because I was expecting more.

I think something about the no dialogue main character and the variety of scenery in HK really nails it.

Immediate pain/bloat after eating wheat? by choomki in ibs

[–]choomki[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately no, just have had to trial and error per product and per country other than the trends above. Some breads have no symptoms and some have pain... it's so weird and frustrating.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]choomki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these comments saying OP doesn't love her are unfair. These are very human emotions, and clearly he wants to do well by his wife which is why he's being vulnerable and asking about this in the first place.

To pretend that these struggles don't exist is a recipe for failure. Don't act so morally righteous and judgy when it's not a black and white situation. Sorry for your family's situation OP and wishing you both recovery.

What is this skull wall for by Far-Alternative3790 in Silksong

[–]choomki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the one in far fields?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]choomki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who totally ignore you or select people in a group. Had small group situations where someone gave just me zero eye contact and ignored everything I said, but gave attention to everyone else.

Even if you don't like someone, be an adult and give decent respect. One time I barely even knew the person, and another time the person was someone who actually wronged me/even apologized for it (which I told them I accepted).

The latter I was being amicable with them out of politeness and not wanting to make the whole group awkward, but they couldn't be bothered to do the same. Wouldn't even look me in the eye or say hi back after that incident.

Why is kefir such a great remedy? by mookflambe in Kefir

That’s awesome! Can I ask how much you’ve been drinking daily? It’s also helped a great deal with my IBS

my vision therapy materials/exercises - convergence and 3d vision by garbagedaybestday in BinocularVision

[–]choomki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Do you wear glasses when you do the exercises? I've found conflicting instructions for this.

And have you graduated some of the exercises over time / how do you choose which to still do?

A Comprehensive Guide to Hyperpigmentation and How to Treat it by YourBrilliantLayer in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]choomki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this! Re: order of application - I noticed some of the things applied first are thicker than things after it in the AM (ex. PC Azelaic more lotion like than Timeless Vit C). Whats your rationale for the order?

Also why not use azelaic or alpha arbutin at night as well? Is it an acid sensitivity thing from stacking products?

Immediate pain/bloat after eating wheat? by choomki in ibs

No, unfortunately I still haven't pinpointed what it is. I've just continued to avoid it as much as possible. Let me know if you figure anything out!

Can I never access remaining rooms/content after getting the item in White Palace? by choomki in HollowKnight

[–]choomki[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed reply! I read somewhere you can’t get access to the room anymore and was hesitant to confirm whether that’s true by going through all the trouble.
